  1. I think i'm going to be learning my lession and replacing that shitty chinese pico with an official one. I thought I was buying an official one when I saw it. I did not double check. As for the power supply, I won't get a cheap chinese one either, i'll take your advice. Thanks for the advice. EDIT: Bought an offical Pico 160-XT with a VERY expensive power brick which according to the website is the most popular power brick for that paticular pico. Thanks for not letting me blow up my stuff.
  2. Would something like this be suitable? https://www.amazon.co.uk/POWSEED-Pavilion-Satellite-Chromebook-Inspiron/dp/B01HO1FZ70/ref=sr_1_17?crid=1LJ2S09QSK4O7&dchild=1&keywords=universal+laptop+charger+uk&qid=1594144578&sprefix=unversal+laptop%2Caps%2C173&sr=8-17
  3. Yes thats how it should be. When you want to turn your pc off, you should do it with the operating system. Holding the power button down is only really used when the pc has crashed and will not respond. Windows 10 1.Windows button (bottom left) 2. Power icon (just above windows button after pressing it) 3. Click Shut Down
  4. Hey guys, I'm unfamiliar with pico power supplies because I've never build a htpc before. I've bought/reused all my components and now i just need a power brick to go with it. I'll be honest, I don't know much about power requirements for the psu. I don't get the whole amps and watts thing. Was hoping someone could help. Im in the UK so i need a UK plug. Info: Pico: https://ibb.co/gwqfJDW Advert: https://ibb.co/RhFF5dX Any help would be amazing, thanks!
  5. Hello peeps. Just finished putting together my new build and I'm looking for a new GPU. I'm currently using a EVGA GTX 970 and I'm looking for an upgrade.

System: Ryzen 5 2600 Asrock PRO4 B450 16gb DDR4 3333Mhz 500gb Samsung evo plus m.2 nvme 750 what psu and a few other drives here and there.

  7. If I won one of those processors, It would be a great way for me to start building a computer for streaming!
  8. The case looks awesome, I've had an antec case before (skeleton) which was loud being it was a test bench (lol), so thats my favorite item out of the bundle. Fingers crossed!
  9. Thank you John! Hazzar! cooling for my pc, can turn the desk fan off which is cooling my pc
  10. I like the look of these... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Round-QI-Wireless-Charger-Charging-Pad-For-LG-Nexus-4-5-Samsung-Galaxy-Note-3-/151215836449?pt=UK_MobilePhones_MobilePhoneAccessories_MobilePhoneChargers&hash=item23352a8d21 Disclaimer: I do not know if they work or what the quality is like, only linked it because I like the look of them and its wireless.

  11. I've been saving my money and holding it for when the oculus rift releases BUT I swear to god.. If they integrate a facebook app or settle for a unfinished product or fuck it up in anyway.... I'm out, I'll just blow the money on hookers, delete my facebook account and give up playing games, Its just the one thing I wanted facebook to keep its hands of but Mark couldn't resist. On the other hand, if he piles cash into it and makes a product we all love, I'll be happy to pay more for it sooner. I'm genuinely not sure if this is a happy day or sad day for gaming.
  12. my experence with Razer has generally been good but with a few bumps along the way. 1. Deathadder mouse, great mouse, use it today. 2. Naga Epic mouse, awesome mouse, still have it today. 3. Lycosa keyboard, broken within 24 hours of buying it, lost reciept so couldn't return. 4. Blackwidow tournment edition keyboard, great keyboard but US layout only 5. Goliathus extended, best mouse mat EU!
  13. Best: XFX 5870, so reliable and Its been my back up card for when I've needed it and It plays new games and good fps Worst: Antec Skeleton Case, its not ment to be used as your main case, its a test bench.
